Somerville — After a few months’ delay, The Boston Shaker has opened in its new Davis Square location and owner Adam Lantheaume hopes the store will become the go-to spot for cocktail supplies and tools.

Cocktail enthusiasts might remember The Boston Shaker from its spot in Union Square’s Grand. Lantheaume rented a small space in the boutique for a bout a year before moving to his own shop on Holland Street. The new Boston Shaker was set to open in November 2009, but after some delays in getting the space set up, Lantheaume opened his doors for business last Friday.

“Cocktails can be very intimidating. You get taught how to cook, but nobody ever teaches you how to make cocktails,” he said. “It’s very simple. I want to help people get over that hump.”
